DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Abuse and neglect significantly impact the lives of children and adolescents in child welfare, leading to a high incidence of mental health difficulties. Youth in child welfare are at an increased risk for juvenile delinquency, chemical dependency, and poor educational outcomes. The Child and Adolescent Welfare Outcome System (CA-WOS) will help address these risks, as well as screen for and monitor the factors that affect the likelihood of successful reunification with the family, contribute to treatment failures and lead to long-term child welfare involvement and eventual transitions to overextended adult treatment programs. CA-WOS is a computer-supported assessment system for child welfare agencies designed to improve long term youth and family functioning outcomes. The system enables interagency treatment team members (counselors, case managers, therapists) as well as youth and their families (birth/foster/caregivers) to provide and access information useful in monitoring mental health status and progress. Informants complete assessments using PCs or via the Internet. Through automated reports, child welfare and mental health professionals are able to easily identify problem and strength areas, to determine whether positive change is occurring as families learn the skills needed to establish safety and permanency. CA-WOS will predict the likelihood of successful reunification based on its assessment of youth and family characteristics such as symptomology, functioning, and strengths; impact of abuse and trauma; prior engagement/progress in therapeutic relationships and placements; self-neglectful attitudes/behavior and other factors. The Phase II specific aims are: Enhance (1) CA-WOS Update Report to include successful permanency indicators, and (2) software to administer update assessments; develop (3) an algorithm to detect inauthentic responses in youth and in parents, (4) sample enrollment and data collection, (5) ETR for resilience and predictive models for reunification, (6) automated aggregate data access and reports, and (7) web-accessible CA-WOS training modules and materials, including (8) implementation and system documentation.

描述（由申请人提供）：虐待和忽视严重影响儿童福利中儿童和青少年的生活，导致心理健康问题的发生率很高。儿童福利机构中的青少年青少年犯罪、化学依赖和教育成果不佳的风险增加。儿童和青少年福利结果系统（CA-WOS）将帮助解决这些风险，并筛查和监测影响成功与家庭团聚的可能性、导致治疗失败和导致长期儿童福利的因素参与并最终过渡到过度扩展的成人治疗计划。 CA-WOS 是一个计算机支持的儿童福利机构评估系统，旨在改善青少年和家庭的长期功能结果。该系统使机构间治疗团队成员（咨询师、个案管理员、治疗师）以及青少年及其家人（出生/寄养/护理人员）能够提供和获取有助于监测心理健康状况和进展的信息。举报人使用电脑或通过互联网完成评估。通过自动报告，儿童福利和心理健康专业人员能够轻松识别问题和优势领域，以确定随着家庭学习建立安全和持久所需的技能，是否正在发生积极的变化。 CA-WOS 将根据对青少年和家庭特征（如症状、功能和优势）的评估来预测成功团聚的可能性；虐待和创伤的影响；先前在治疗关系和安置方面的参与/进展；自我忽视的态度/行为和其他因素。第二阶段的具体目标是：增强 (1) CA-WOS 更新报告以包括成功的永久性指标，以及 (2) 管理更新评估的软件；开发 (3) 一种算法来检测青少年和家长的不真实反应，(4) 样本登记和数据收集，(5) 用于复原力的 ETR 和团聚的预测模型，(6) 自动汇总数据访问和报告，以及 (7 ) 可通过网络访问的 CA-WOS 培训模块和材料，包括 (8) 实施和系统文档。
